MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Five explosions hit Madrid at Friday evening rush hour -- three of them at petrol stations -- after a warning from the Basque separatist group ETA, police said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries. The blasts went off in the northern and western sides of the city, not in the city center.

Police described the bombs as low-potency. They went off just as millions of Spaniards were heading out of town for a long holiday weekend.

A caller to the Basque newspaper Gara issued a warning on behalf of ETA, saying five explosive devices had been placed at gas stations along major highways leading out of Madrid, The Associated Press reported.
